The fine print:
Seats in the workshop rooms are for guests who have purchased a ticket to attend that particular workshop. Only those guests who have a paid workshop ticket for that particular workshop may be in the room at the time the workshop begins. Unfortunately we do not allow any persons to stand in on or sit in the workshop rooms unless they have a paid ticket to that workshop (including children.) Babes in arms are the only exception. Missed workshops are not refundable.
You must attend the workshop to receive the workshop kit. Kits are exclusive to the workshop and are not sold outside the classroom. You may inquire with the instructor between workshops or at the end of their workshop day to request a kit. Sometimes, the kits are not relevant without the instruction in the class. Often instructors do not have kits in their booths to distribute. It is between you and the instructor to receive a kit without the actual teaching time included.

Tools Using approximately 5 gross packs of 2mm Austria Illumination crystals, we are going to jewel a pen from top to bottom. If you take into account that purchasing 5 gross packs of color crystals by itself would cost $42.75, this class is priced to take and learn.

Everyone will be able to take their bottle of glue home (along with the other little "tools") to either finish or start another pen project. You will also receive two pen refills. Only those who take the class will have the opportunity to purchase additional pen patterns to use at a later time. When complete, we dare you not to say this is your favorite pen!
